Which bring up another question...since networking and knowing someone someplace seems to be 90% of current job placement, doesn't it mean that being bright, having an outstanding academic record as well as being neat and professional will really get you no further than the guy next to you who can offer less?? Seems one hand just washes the other...

The best resume I ever saw was from a guy who had some custom sized paper. It was slightly (about 1/8th inch) wider and longer than the standard 8.5" x 11" sheets. Not enough to notice by itself, but it sure stood out when it was placed in a stack of resumes. Yes, he did get an interview, but he wasn't "the" guy we were looking for. He got an A for trying though.

That's ingenious. Almost diabolical, really.

I guess size does matter.:erm::)

But, if you're bright, have an outstanding academic record, be neat and professional you'll naturally gravitate toward others like you and you'll end up with the best jobs, live in the best neighborhoods, your kids will go to the best schools (private, naturally!), you'll be asked to join the "right" club and you'll marry well (Kappa or Theta, of course--having slummed with some Pi Phi's in school... ;) ).

And, you'll live happily ever after... ;) TC

What do you guys think, is the "big rebound" of aviation in US going to happen...is happening?? Or what you see is what you pretty much what you get? I just remember the days of being a student pilot and my first CFI leaving to an airline with 1500 hrs., here I am now with almost 1000 turbine PIC and 3000+ TT with no calls:)
I heard someone mention a bit ago that every industry rebounds, any thoughts? Foreign markets seem to be growing strong, geez corp aviation in eastern europe shows 100-200% annual growth, is it time to put a big furry hat on??

I'd say if you have a big furry hat PUT IT ON..........that's just my advice.
